About Time Out

Breakfast is the anchor at Time Out, a takeaway restaurant and cafe on Desborough Rd in High Wycombe, where the kitchen cooks traditional Pakistani desi morning food including nihari, paya and halwa puri with chickpeas. Parathas are made by hand rather than brought in frozen, and the alloo version arrives alongside karak chai, with mango pickle served with the food. A halal English breakfast sits on the same menu for anyone wanting the fry-up instead, and the 34 dishes stretch through omelettes, roti, curries and samosa with mint sauce. Customers also order the house Time Out specials. The business is small and family-run, orders are taken on a walk-in basis, and it stays busy through the day. Dogs are welcome with their owners, and the doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come back for the parathas, singling out the alloo parathas and describing them as hand made and fresh rather than frozen like other shops. Close behind are the halwa puri and halwa, which one reviewer calls the best they have tasted, along with the paya, nihari, samosa with mint sauce and mango pickle. The karak chai draws repeated praise as fragrant and delightful. Several mention friendly, polite staff and a friendly owner, and generous portions. Takeaway orders are described as well packaged and still warm, and one reviewer notes about 15 people ordering takeaways during their breakfast visit. The main dissent comes from one reviewer who tried the halal English breakfast and found it disappointing: hash browns that felt like supermarket ones, a dry sausage, one slice of bread and a fried egg they had asked to be fully cooked, with value for money lacking. Even so, they called the service quick and friendly. Another reviewer who ordered two Time Out specials and three parathas for takeaway found the tea, chickpeas and halwa all tasty.

    “This is one of the best places in High Wycombe for traditional desi Pakistani paratha, halwa puri and karak chai. The samosa was delicious especially the mint sauce. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be trying the Nihari soon.”

    “I had walked past a few times in the last several months and noticed from the shop windows the food looked unusually fresh and the parathas hand made rather than frozen like other shops. So I went In today and was not disappointed. In fact …”
  • AJ&khan
    “Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The food arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly packaged. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous and well worth the price. The ordering process was quick and easy, and delivery was right on time. Customer service was also excellent — friendly, professional, and attentive. It’s rare to find a takeaway that gets everything right, but this one truly does. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, reliable food!”
